Unhappy Side marker replacement

How does one replace the bulb in a side marker on a 2006?

For the front, you have to open up the wheel well to get access to it. It's the same for the front signals and headlights..

For the rear, you need a phillips screwdriver.

If you have access to new "christmas tree" clips, it makes life much easier. That way you don't have to worry about damaging the old ones.

You used a screwdriver? I use a pair of needle nose pliers. They pull right out.
